THE MORPHOLOGICAL FUNCTION OF AFFIXES IN UZBEK AND TURKISH LANGUAGES

This article provides a comparative morphological analysis of affixes in the Uzbek and Turkish languages, focusing on their grammatical, derivational, and syntactic functions. As members of the Turkic language family, both Uzbek and Turkish exhibit agglutinative morphological structures, wherein affixes serve as the primary means of expressing grammatical relationships and word formation. The study explores similarities and differences in affix usage, productivity, and semantic transparency. It also examines how affixes reflect historical language development and contemporary linguistic evolution. The research contributes to broader understanding of Turkic linguistics and morphological typology through detailed analysis of affixation mechanisms in both languages.
